Nose is still decent, with raspberry and spice. The mouth has become a bit unbalanced with age, with what seems like residual sugar becoming more prominent. Pairs perfectly well with spicy food, but a bit too heavy and sweet on its own.

Delivers what I expect from a zin in this (discounted WTSO) price range. Mostly cinnamon in the nose (only slight raspberry). Rich mid palate, good finish. I saw some others commenting on thinness and lack of spice. My sample is not at all thin or lacking in spice. Lack of complexity I agree with.

Seemed a little thin on the palate. Flavors were a little subdued, too. Either a slightly off bottle or this is getting long in the tooth. Will have to try another, soon.

Consistent with 1/29 tasting. Subdued flavors; thin palate.
